Is this Daytona Real?
Yep, I've read the rules and this is not the usual 'is this Rolex real' thread.
I was watching Kill Bill Vol. 2 again last night and in the scene towards the end where Uma Thurman is doing her pregnancy test, she's timing the wait with a white dial Daytona. It was only on the screen for a second and I noticed something didn't seem right. I rewound, paused and saw that the sub-dials seemed to be a calendar and not the usual chrono. So what sort of Daytona is it? I can't imagine Rolex allowing a not-real one to be screened Apologies if this is a dumb question but my knowledge of Rolex is best described as limited. Here's the actual watch

Wow! How the F did you see that? Great catch. I can't wait to hear the answers on this one.

Common fake. Even the bezel is upside down on this one.

Bad fake, bezel looks like pot metal.

I owe an apology to the Mods here; I didn't read the rules as properly as I thought I did and posted in the wrong section. Sorry fellas

I'm actually surprised that Rolex didn't stamp on this and either demand the removal of the piece or the use of a genuine reference. In the original script of Gone in 60 Seconds, the thieves stole an S Class Merc by hot wiring. Mercedes put the blockers on it and demanded that the script be changed because they claim it's impossible to steal a Merc and drive it away without the keys.

It's the ultra-rare "Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique" Kung Fu-gazi Daytona.
